I long wondered if these mind altering drugs docs hand out like candy are not a contributing factor if not the sole factor. There have been documented studies if you personally ask for a specific brand you saw advertised the vast majority of the time they are going to prescribe it for you, the TV commercials need to be outlawed IMO!

One ever think parents these days are lazy and/or too liberal and don't believe in "Spare the rod, spoil the child"?
When I was a boy we all got over our problems/issues by learning to cope. Sure it was hard for some but in the end it works great. Now it's just instantly put them on happy drugs. Why learn to cope?
It's a combo of lots of things. Drugs, stupid/lazy parents, lack of morals etc... The bad parents part also includes too many video game hours which leads to a lack of people skills. And a few other things.

So are they shooters because of the meds? Not likely IMO. They're on the meds because they aren't thinking right.

Someone in the comments of the article link referenced pointed out a fallacy of correlation versus causation as far as psychotropic drugs and mass shooting is concerned. Not saying drugs necessarily "cause" the shootings. However, there is a definite smoke/fire type correlation.
I also know personally of people who have had teen children suffer drastic psychological consequences (become suicidal) very quickly after beginning some of these drugs.

These drugs absolutely have play a role in many past killings. Someone mentioned a review of past shootings and all the shooters were on some type of mind altering drug prescriptions.
I saw the same thing. It also mentioned many kids who only killed friends of siblings and parents. One really good kid by all as counts was placed on a drug and days later killed his sister for no reason. Another killed his dad. Several were taken off the drugs cold turkey after months and they killed.
Bottom line is. These drugs should only be prescribed in the absolute worst case scenarios not like candy to help little Johnny cope with homework.

ACTIONS = CONSEQUENCES
This has been missing from the child raising metric for decades.
Drugging your children to make them easier to raise is a huge cop out. As hyperactive and adhd as I was/am, thank God my parents were not the type to drug, and delivered discipline in measured doses to me and my siblings. I took a long time for me to learn to use ADD to better myself, instead of holding me back. If any of your children have this, learn yourself, and help them learn to live with it, and learn to use it to their advantage.
